[Bradford] USB Flash Drives for LiveUSB usage

[Brian]

I got a couple of Kingston 8GB Generation 3 Yellow from 'Stamford Electronics', via 'Amazon Market Place'. They 
were £3.70 each but the price has increased now to £4.40, Free Delivery. Still a good buy I think. I can confirm that they boot up on an 
EeePC701. I have made a clone of the one that is in use so that I have 
an identical back up. It is running Ubuntu Server, with OpenVPN and 
Samba/cifs(to connect to my RAID), and an LXDE-core desktop for the 
purposes of running Skype and siptosis on JRE6, as an interface to my 
Asterisk PBX.

As my trusty collection of USB drives is getting old and starting to fail, I need to replenish my supplies.
But it was mentioned to me that some USB sticks don't work for LiveCD usage (I think Dick mentioned it).
So is there a recent list of drives that do for sure work, or maybe you've purchased some recently at a sensible price that do ?

Cheers, Nick
